- Has went off the boil.
The show used to be a lot of fun but lately It’s really gone downhill, so I’ve sadly just stopped listening in.

United Kingdom22 days ago - Proper village.
Always reminds me of being sat on the verandah of my village cricket club during batting innings, listening to the mixture of earnest cricket badger chat and random, unabridged, unfiltered, joyous codswallop that we veer between. An absolute delight.
Apple Podcasts5JackHSavageUnited Kingdoma month ago - Lost it’s Jimmy and it’s spark

Apple Podcasts2Beno 66United Kingdom3 months ago - My new favourite podcast
I found this podcast during the recent appalling ashes tour of Australia and found it lifted my cricket spirits.
It is perfect for anyone, whether you’re a lifelong cricket fan or, like me you came to it much later. I don’t think I’ve laughed so much, I genuinely cannot wait for a new episode to enter my feed.
It’s clear by the chemistry between Greg, Felix, Jimmy, Mattchin and producer Sharky that they are all friends and this is a podcast by cricket fans for cricket fans.
I was always more o... more
